Sarah said: “The sparky on the job, specifically I would give him the line I’d have to say and I’d ask him, ‘What happens to the letter A here?’ and he’d say, ‘Oh, you shorten that’. Or I might say the word ‘responsibility’, and he’d say, ‘You take the T off that’.

“I’d just copy him before he disappeared off on the set somewhere else.

Fred takes work Sirieixly

FIRST Dates host FRED SIRIEIX insists he has no plans to quit his day job at a Michelin-starred restaurant, despite the success of the Channel 4 show.

The charming Frenchman is general manager at the posh Galvin at Windows in London’s Hilton Park Lane. He hosts the hit dating show – which is filmed at the Paternoster Chop House near St Paul’s – during his time off.

Fred said: “I’m still working in the same restaurant I was working in before, Galvin. So from that perspective, it hasn’t changed things much. I do get recognised in the street but that’s it.”

When asked if he had been tempted to leave Galvin for a full-time telly career, Fred said: “No, because I like what I do. We have a lovely team, it’s a lovely restaurant and I really enjoy it. It hasn’t crossed my mind.”

Fred has a bit further to travel between jobs for First Dates Hotel though, which returns for a second series tonight and is set in Southern Italy.
